In my <limited> experience, I have found Access forms to be sort of odd ducks
when it comes to directly interacting with them via the Windows connections.
Their buttons and fields may not have window handles like normal buttons etc
would in a windows application.
First thing to try is Connect to it using Windows, see if the button shows up
in the Advanced Windows List build the click as you would for any other windows
app. Now if you don't see your button in the list (which wouldn't surprise me
with Access forms...
You could also see if Smart sees the button.
If it doesn't, you could try a Smart location and just fire a click that way
at it - see if it works.
If that doesn't then we're looking at just firing a click at a spot
Use
Activate "Form title goes here"
Wait 'just in case it wasn't the foreground window, give it a
bit of time to become it after the activate
ClickEx Getforegroundhwnd,X, Y 'ClickEX has a parameter where
you can see where the mouse is going, keep changing X and Y until it hits the
button
Another approach entirely would be to use the Access object model - that's
beyond what I could explain here - but my guess is you could programmatically
upload this data and avoid firing clicks entirely.

Subject: [talkbws] #safe# Click Function
I am running a report through Meditech and when it's completed it is linked to
an Access Database to execute certain data. I am running a script through
Boston to open the database and click the Import File button to compile the
data needed. How do I write the Click function in Boston to click a command
button on the Access Database Form? I am currently using the Key function to
use the shortcut keys to the button.
Click([Window],[DblClick As Boolean = False . . . . . . . . so on and so on.
Thank you,
Jesus
